Single crystals of hexagonal LiIO 3 and its new tetragonal modification were grown in an aqueous solution using the evaporation method under almost identical growing conditions. The hexagonal crystal changed irreversibly to the tetragonal one at about 255°C. The latter belonged to the point group 4/ m . The lattice constants were a = 9.73 and c = 6.15 Å.
